"Thanks ever so much for a fab day. The assembly kicked off the day perfectly and the children throughly enjoyed the workshops! There was lots of positive feedback from the staff too." - Salome Humanes, St Agatha's Catholic Primary School

Setting up a school Taiko club

A School Taiko club is a great way to give children regular access to the world of Taiko drumming. We can help you launch and maintain a school Taiko group in a number of ways.
The benefits of having a school club stretch far and wide beyond the skill of drumming itself:

Self worth

confidence building

teamwork

musical development

physical confidence

control and coordination

insight into Japanese culture

For the school, a Taiko club:

broadens the range of clubs on offer

combines music and physical activity in one club

provides a way to bring together both music and physical activity

promotes the school when your club goes out to perform in public

We will:

Supply you a set of quality school Taiko drums, stands and sticks

Kick off the club with a day of workshops or after school Taiko sessions to promote Taiko to the children and parents

Lead the first few club sessions

Train your club leader in Taiko, and to apply what you already know of music and rhythm to the art of Taiko

Make regular visits to your school club sessions for guidance in maintaining good standards, and preparing for performances

Give your club leader all the creative support they will need for developing repertoire for the group
